A shout from someone in the seated audience: "CHICKENBUTT!"
Votey:
Speaker (a man, shown in close-up with a grim expression): "Yes, that is what killed him."

Main comic (single wide panel): The interior of a chapel-like memorial hall with rows of wooden pews full of mourners and a red carpet running down the center aisle toward a podium at the front. A person stands at the podium delivering a eulogy, with a speech bubble reading: "Dad is survived by seven children and fourteen grandchildren. And, yes, many of us will forever be haunted by images of his nightmarish death. But, you know what?" From the seated crowd, a yellow shout bubble answers: "CHICKENBUTT!" — the classic setup-and-payoff of the childish 'you know what?' joke, here detonating at a funeral.
Votey (bonus panel): A close-up of a grim-faced man's head and shoulders, drawn in rough black ink. His speech bubble reads: "Yes, that is what killed him." The punchline reveals that the man literally died from a chickenbutt, retroactively making the eulogy's mention of his 'nightmarish death' horribly literal.
